Very interesting idea! Would have been great to introduce additional puzzle mechanics later down the line. Enjoyed it!

Get the Pizza! surprisingly has a unique yet simple puzzle mechanic; however, I think the game could benefit from snapping player movement to the tile grid. Going through passages that you can't line yourself up against a wall with is a little challenging and not in the good way.

@risingsunz Thanks for playing! The intended mechanic is to have to line yourself up with walls, but I guess it could be better communicated :)

Fantastic concept. I think this core system has a lot of potential. Great job! It was a little frustrating navigating through some spaces given the size of your character. If it wasn't pixel perfect, you just didn't fit.

I very liked the game. It took me a while to understand the physics of the game but after I did it was very enjoyable.

Too bad it's slightly too difficult for me. The pizza was nicely rotating but I couldn't figure out what to do with the pizza stuck in a loop going around and around.

The game is fun, I found it a little bit to hard to line up with the sprite and I would appreciate if this was easier like moving on a grid.
Good job!

The game is great, my only disappointment is that, how quickly I finished the game. More levels would be great.

I would never have come up with an idea as good as this. You've nailed the theme perfectly. It is very innovative. Overall, it's great. You have all my stars. Good job!

Nice game, I got all the pizza. The music is catchy and the idea is easy to understand. I did find it hard to align myself properly and assumed it was a bug but read in your previous comments that it was intentional. perhaps making it so you don't have complete movement control but rather you shoot towards a direction and stop when you hit a wall and also right after you go through the screen...to avoid looping. maybe that would communicate that clearer?

@denzil-gomes That's not a bad idea :)

Nice game! really clever idea. I would recomend to reduce the size of the hitbox, was hard to pass in some doors.

Cool stuff! I got a bit of an imbalanced feeling from the kick in the drums, but the game itself is well thought out. Puzzles are not too difficult, so that gave me a nice sense of achievement. :D I am really happy I got all the pizza. You never guess what I'm going to eat tonight...

This is such a good idea of a puzzle game! Very nicely done!

This was very cool, it's a neat idea that's well executed. The only thing I had a problem with which would just be nit picking because it's such a complete game was that the cube should snap to the positions so that it's easier to line up with the gaps. PS. I love Pizza so that's a plus for me. Also, I didn't know you could host games on Netlify so that is awesome!

Woooooow! This game has so much potential and you nailed it. The idea is excellent.

This puzzle game is addictive, a unique problem that must be corrected is the character walking from house to house, instead of small spaces because the collision is blocked many times for not being directly inside the space, congratulations again a super hug!

Oh, now I see why you appreciated our game :p

If you make more difficult stages in a post-jam version please notify me :)

You have made a very cool puzzle game and a nice catch on the theme, I think your game deserves recognition!

This is the most unique game in this jam I played so far. Considering the theme, the idea is really good, and the execution might be even better. I would love to see a version of this with more levels, and maybe grid-based movement, because right now, getting through one-block paths is really tough. Incredible work!

Very good idea and execution. Like others have said, the movement can be very frustrating. I think tile based movement might work better for this type of game.

If it's a game about pizza, I immediatly want to play it!
Simple but efficient game. It was a bit headscratching but not too much. I also liked the fact that it wasn't too long.
Only thing I didn't liked is the fact that you need to be pixel perfctly aligned with pathes to use them or you get stuck on the wall.
Other than that, good work!

Woah, really cool idea! I seriously love your take on the theme. The only problem I had was sometimes it was hard to slip between two blocks without running into a wall to be perfectly flush with the hole. Super cool puzzles! This was an incredible game all around!

i love this game, good fit in theme. Little bit of polish and can be good logic game on mobile with hundrets of levels.

Going to say an unpopular opinion, but I actually liked the idea that you can't fit into a gap without running into another wall. It takes a problem in some games, but turns it into an interesting puzzle mechanic. Though I guess it would be better to explain explicitly in the game that it's intentional and part of the puzzles!
It's one of those issues where playtesters will tell you a fix, and you have to not listen to the fix but identify the underlying problem (which is that it feels like a unintended side effect of not snapping to a grid) and possibly fix it in a different way.

Enjoyed playing the game! It took me a little while to understand what was going on. I liked the level design, too bad there were only a few levels.
It felt like it should be possible to go into the 1 wide holes, but since the solution was possible without it worked out fine.
Great job!
